✦ AI summary

Aces of Thunder receives passionate praise from satisfied players who highlight its stunning graphics, excellent optimization, balanced flight model that blends realism with arcade fun, and impressive joystick setup support for both VR and flat-screen play. However, some players report significant technical issues including crashes, launch failures, and problematic VR motion controls, while others find the gameplay lacks the engagement of competitors like War Thunder.

Su - F-ING - PERB! OUT - F-ING- STANDING! DROP DEAD GORGEOUS GRAPHICS RUNNING FULL OUT AT 257FPS !!☺ IF ONLY DCS/iL2 could be BOUGHT OUT by these devs!! I have not found one thing to dislike. Play in VR or flatscreen WITH TrackiR and or Head tracking. All manor of hardware supported... My Hotas works perfectly. EASY SETUP for Joysticks *** EASIEST SET UP I HAVE EVER SEEN IN ANY TITLE and I have been playing since the Atari 2600 was NEw! These CANDY ASS SISSIES that gave bad marks are CLUELESS! AWESOME SIM. LOVING IT. ALL F-ING CAPS BABY! Sure would be AWESOME to see some Modern Combat with this title/devs/engine --- F-16's. A-10's.... This could easily bankrupt and replace dcs if they tried....

Excellent game, ignore the negative reviews, they are very unfair given what a great job the devs have done with this title. Incredible experience in VR, stunning graphics and very well optimised so you can actually enjoy the graphics without compromising on performance. Lovelly flight model too! This game strikes a perfect balance between realism and arcade, and delivers arguably the most satisfying WW2 dogfighting action in any title. Only downside is that the VR motion controls are not good, so to properly enjoy the game you should use a joystick or gamepad, though mouse and keyobard works nicely too. Overall, definitely worth a look if you are into combat flight sims, and WW2 in particular.

The game started off as an absolute failure. Controls were just awful and more of a guessing game on how to set them up and what works vs doesn't. After months of not playing, I install it and try to launch the game, that is also a failure. Reinstalled all the dependencies and drivers, no-go. Save your money.

I have spent over my refund in this game trying to get it working in either flat screen or vr. I have tried all the suggested fixes but it won't work for longer than 30 seconds without crashing. Pity.. I enjoyed those 30 seconds.
